The comment was talking about dired which is a file manager that runs inside Emacs and Emacs can be used in terminal mode.

My butt is orbiting the center of our galaxy at around 500K mph so that thing still has some ways to go.

It has paragraphs and an unordered list so it's technically not a wall of text :)
There is truth in it though, it's fun to ramble on about all the cool stuff that we get to do with Emacs.

I use parcellite. Sensible UI, has all the functionality I need and it's not tied to any desktop environment.
The functionality I care about:

• history, including customizable persistent entries
• customizable key bindings
• handles both primary and selection and can sync them
• can trim whitespace
• can launch customizable actions on the active entry

Clipboard managers often have an option to synchronize them. There are standalone tools as well, autocutsel for example.

100-200 of screws then? No wonder it takes so long.

One thing that is difficult to do though is adding a custom search engine query that is not already offered in the OpenSearch XML format. For example, how would you go about making https://lemmy.world/search?type=All&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll&q=%s the default search engine pattern?

When I tried to do something similar I ended up creating and serving the XML from my own web server. Would love to know if there is an easier way. It used to be trivial to do via preferences.

Edit, sorry, Lemmy insists on turning ampersands into & for some reason, here it is the example URL pattern as a link

Also, this support post has some discussion on the issue.

Go with the frontend kept as simple as possible.

Wine developers. Yes, Valve/Proton has given it a big boost in the last few years but the Wine project has been under steady development for 30 years, almost as long as Linux itself. I remember trying it for the first time back in the day and being amazed that it could run Minesweeper.

I am pretty sure that giving you more control over your device is not what they have in mind.

Some kind of federation for hashtag follows is what I'd like to see the most. Currently I am using a larger instance mainly to get a good chunk of the traffic for the hashtags that I am interested in. The ability to filter content for user follows would help in this area too. I want to be able to follow a user but only see their posts with specific hashtags.

Oh, and markdown support! Really miss having a proper way to do lists, literals and code blocks.

Personally I am comfortable with that as long as there is a public git repo. An issue tracker is the one thing I'd miss the most. I think how well this goes down will greatly depend on the project's target audience.
notmuch is a project that I follow closely and very occasionally contribute to that works this way.

keyd has a list-keys sub-command that lets you list all valid key names and also monitor to print the names of keys as you press them.

There hasn't been any real form factor innovation in a very long time so cycling through the same styles is what we are left with.

My favorite way to handle RSS is rss2email. This will be exactly as good as your email workflow. Been using this for many years, I have about 16K RSS feed items under my "rss" tag in notmuch

Already moved in the sense that I am not creating any new projects on GH. I am rehosting old projects opportunistically. No plans to get rid of the account unless GH does something really messed up.

The linked post has some analysis of Reddit's loss off traffic based on SubredditStats data. I noticed the same trends when I was looking earlier but some of the drop-offs look so dire that it made me think that maybe the data collection broke. Any idea how they get their data?

Edit: there is some discussion of this over at !RedditMigration@kbin.social too. lemmy.world link to that thread.

The post would have been more interesting if you gave some details on what exactly broke, how you fixed it, relevant bugs etc.

Antennapod's implementation of this is so nice. My Antennopod DB dumps have survived 5 years, multiple device transitions and almost 1500 hours of podcast listening.

Some other apps that I use that do a good job at dumbing/restoring their data:

• Fedilab: client for Mastodon and some other fediverse instance types.
• Keymapper: remap physical buttons and keyboard keys
• Newpipe: video and music player for youtube and some other services
